Ok, we’ll admit that a large portion of Pesach cleaning is spring cleaning. But who wants to clean for Pesach and then two weeks later do it all over again, just minus the crumb search? Also, if you dont clean the walls by Pesach, they will likely NEVER get cleaned! Unscrubbed walls! Forever! I’m being serious, its a scary thought! Trust me, when you clean them, after five, ten years or so, the schmatta will be black! Besides, even if we know 100% that there is no chometz, its still feels good to go into yomtov knowing that the whole house has been thoroughly cleaned. It makes us happy. The craziness and stress is unwarranted, true. Make a plan/schedule that includes the whole family and promise a treat if everyone helps out! Pizza on the sidewalk bedikas chometz night?
